APP

Islamabad: The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) has launched a new Text-to-Speech feature on its website, specifically for the blogs and articles section.

This enhancement aims to improve accessibility and convenience for users browsing specific content, as announced in a news release on Saturday.

The Text-to-Speech functionality is particularly beneficial for individuals who prefer listening to content rather than reading. It also supports PSX patrons with visual impairments, reading difficulties, or those who multitask and prefer listening to content on the go.

An embedded audio player in the blogs and articles section provides a seamless listening experience. This feature includes customizable options such as playback speed adjustment and easy navigation.

PSX Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Farrukh H Khan stated, “We are delighted to introduce the Text-to-Speech facility, enhancing accessibility for all PSX website users, specifically those accessing the blogs and articles section. 

This service enables seamless consumption of content through the embedded audio player. It underscores PSX’s commitment to leveraging technology for the benefit of our valued stakeholders, customers, and website users. 

Moreover, it reflects our dedication to promoting investor education and awareness, catering to diverse preferences and needs, including visual impairments or reading disabilities. This aligns well with PSX’s responsibility towards adopting and reporting on ESG standards, including diversity and inclusivity.”

Chief Marketing & Business Development Officer at PSX, Raeda Latif, added, “Introducing the Text-to-Speech facility on the PSX website is an important development that enhances PSX’s reputation as a robust and modern exchange catering to the diverse needs of its customers, stakeholders, investors, and issuers.

By adding value to our education and awareness activities with this feature, PSX has once again demonstrated its commitment to using technology to facilitate its stakeholders, including website users with varied needs or impairments.

This initiative shows that PSX is a responsible exchange committed to ESG, including diversity and inclusion concerns.
